Finally got to meet my MP Mark today. We got a brief chance to chat about my time here already and what his expectations are. He is quite an energetic man whose thick Scotish accent is difficult to understand at times. I think he will be quite enjoyable to work for. He has quite a few assignments for me, namely research on various consumer protection isssues relating to energy. Nearly 15% of U.K. citizens have a "pay-as-you-go" system for their electricity and gas. Many of the people who use this system are low income, and unfortunetley most electic and gas companies charge significantly more for the "pay-as-you-go" than they do standard billing or direct debit billing methods.
I've contacted Mikey Maresca, a good friend from Marist, who is currently studying in Florence about visiting for an extended weekend from Feb. 12-15. I found a round trip flight for £50, which I may finalize this evening.
Countdown until Amsterdam: <2 days
